The track car livery......ADVICE
Well last night I ordered the new livery from 'dazzer' who does the site stickers.
Here is what I have ordered and what it should roughly look like: http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...ld/logos-1.jpg I have also started by spray painting the wing mirrors, still got the bonnet and boot to go but its raining today! http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...d/09499525.jpg Will most definately be done before the next meet :D |
Wow. Thats pretty nice
|
Now I know why you are into Forza, practice for the site stickers!!!
Will look good. :wave::wave::wave: |
looks ace dude
|
That's going to look awesome!
|
Well the rain halted play today except for the last hour where the ground was dry so I swapped over the mirrors (I had painted a spare set) :)

Nice work as usual mate, proud to see my name there..
Might be worthwhile Reposting to new members that they can have a name decal with the Input of a donation.. |
Will do once the livery is on mate. All money will be going in a kitty for repairs/maintenance.
Currently around £40 is available but still need to sort gear stick! I'm funding the livery. |
Dazzer has let me know tat the livery is comlete so should be with me next week. Conveniently, I am on holiday so apart from fitting the carPC into the mk2, I will be fitting the new livery!!
Just need to sort the gear stick wobble and get the knocking suspension fixed then it will be ready again for May!! |
Looking good, shame knockhill is so far away.
|
It will be coming to brands this year and one other track down south!
Available to drive or be driven in to all subscribed members :):) |
Well I would be interested in brands as it was my local track and had some good success in fornula ford in the mid 90s, that makes me well old!!
|
Would be great to see you behind the wheel mate, I am looking at Summer/Autumn.
|
That would be great, planning on giving mine a few laps at the end of april. Nothing like paddock dropping away from you as you hit the hump on the apex!! Best I get subscribed.

I had a great day there just after they changed the track at the bottonm of druids, Couldnt afford to go testing so took my y reg focus. Great way to learn the new bit before racing that weekend. Had a guy in a porche trying to get past me into paddock then clearways. When we stopped he came up and asked what on earth gets you round those corners so quick, to which I replyed I dont know this is my mums car. The look on his face wa sto die for, although later one of the instructors told him I was aracer!! Always makes me laugh thinking about it.
|
Hahaha, that is absolute quality!! You'll be able to show us a thing or two in the site track Zed then!!
|
I'm an old git now, not far off my saga brochure. But looking forward to it, the track day (not the brochure)
|
I don't know...don't you get a free pen with your Saga sign up?
|
I think that comes from micheal parkinson!!
|
I think they offer cheaper insurance!!! But will stick with churchill as they class me as an older sensible driver!!! yeah ok.

Not everyone's in the same boat though! I wouldn't put my mk2 180 on the track on a regular basis, too rare to lose another one!
|
it's a grat laugh but it can and does go so badly wrong when you least expect it.
I had my RB320 out at Knockhill last year and had a total blast with it, learned a load about the car even after owning it for nearly 3 years and want to do it again but near the end I got a bit over confident and through my realative in-experiance with 4 wheel drive I spun it in the dip leading up to the chicane. If I had known what I was doing I could have caught it but I didn't - so I went sideways through the edge of the gravel trap and ended up in the middle of the chicane going backwards. I came off the track, drove it into the carpark and left it there |
Which is why I will be ecstatic if I get a years worth from this car.
Your car is massively more expensive than any ZS so I can understand that! My mk2 only cost £1600 and I still wouldn't risk it on a regular basis! Sounds scary though! |
I don't want to risk my car but if I wasn't going to mess about on the track and make full use of it I'd have bought something that was a bit cheaper to run and wasn't track capable. I also use my car to get to work so when it does have problems (like setting fire to the calipers) I just hope they're easily sortable. I'd hope you get more than a years worth out of the track car! It's not like it's being raced every weekend. Do you know how much surplus your getting from each track day? as £50 seems quite cheap when you take into account tyres, pads, petrol, insurance and repairs.
|
It is quite cheap and I do make a tiny amount from it to keep for repairs/replacements etc but if required, I will up the price a fraction once I can guage whats required. I also plan to take donations for members names on the car and also passenger rides so hopefully it will balance out. It's not a money making exercise but I would like the ends to meet :)
|
as long as you don't break anything fuel will be the biggest cost. Brakes and tyres should last a few outings
|
Love the livery, looks like it will be tremendous:) I certainly hope it does you longer than a year after the amount of time and effort you have and still are putting in with it! Hope to manage a shotty myself at some point hehe:D
|
Well Inverness isn't too far :)
And I only mention a year as thats the minimum I'd be satisfied with....would love it to go on for years :D |
Quote:
Just as I will probably only get the chance once this year to get down to summat and was thinking the show at KH would be a good one but if that doesnt work then will get down for one of the track outings:D |
Not sure when it is either lol. Sometimes struggle with my shifts too, hence there is no track day in April :(
|
Quote:
Have to say would be tempted to take mine out when I wasnt in the track car too lol:D Aye shifts have many advantages but can sometimes be a bit of a ******:) |
The actual KH track days are not great value tbh. The open pit days are much better for our purposes.
|
Well the livery arrived today and I started putting it together. I appear to have ordered the hot wheels logo slightly too big so can't fit it to the rear door but then that will have other vinyls on it.
I stood back to take a photo and is it just me or is the MG logo really squint? I thought it was slightly skewed when I got it, but on the car it looks worse IMO? Opinions so far? [IMG]http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...d/74865064.jpg[/IMG] |
yeah it looks like it's not quite tall enough
